JUST BARELY:The troll (above) also claimed “a majority of us” hate Trump. Mmmm, not so much and your “majority” is shrinking all the time. Latest Rasmussen: 49% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.

FIRING FEDERAL EMPLOYEES: President Trump signed an executive order making it a little easier to fire federal workers for poor performance and misconduct. Currently the process to terminate an employee takes between six months and a year — even longer if it’s appealed.

With the Memorial Day weekend and other distractions, I’m a ways behind on my PoliNation reading. So you may already have seen and mentioned that one of our favorite satire sources – the Babylon Bee – has been sold. I don’t have a direct link for the story, so here’s where I heard it:

The Babylon Bee has been sold to a new owner. Current owner cites pressure and censorship by Facebook. He said anyone trying to get the Gospel out is being severely curtailed.

Hmmmmmmmmm … I think you mean “theology” there. “Exegesis” is the “critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially of scripture.”

And, no, I don’t think following Jesus means you have to know what homoousious is (though it can occasionally come in handy while doing crossword puzzles). I actually learned it, not in theology, but in history class, when it was on the exam about the rise of early Christianity. It means Jesus was/is truly God: Begotten, not made, one in being with the Father.

As for Eusebius’ History of the Church, it’s pretty much a continuation of the Acts of the Apostles through to the early 300s. I.e., history (who did what when), not theology. Lots about Roman emperors, persecutions and martyrs, which is why I mentioned it in my comment. It’s very readable.

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”
